boxboy Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Love it! Always wanted to try a little cube!How did you do the bottom glass? Is it under all the sides or sandwiched inside the glasswalls? Good luck with the contest! Wish I was able to join in! Maybe another time! Thanks. The bottom glass has all the sides resting on it. then panted it black. Ya still got time to join the 3 and under pico contest. so hurry and build a tank. or buy one. Link to comment

asting Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 What are you doing with a TEC? Link to comment

asting Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 DIY Ice probe but you live in canada.... Link to comment
boxboy Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 but you live in canada.... Haha I hear ya. But I have no control over the heat in my apartment and thus it does get about 90ish F in here in the winter. In summer we use the AC. Maybe after the contest I could upgrade my 10G to 40 long reef and use the Pico for Cold water? Mirco-Reefs has some nice items. Ive also just fixed my banner, It now goes to the correct threads. lol Link to comment

boxboy Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 I have no idea how the TEC will work out. but it wont cost much anyways. its worth a shoot. some extra pics Link to comment
boxboy Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Thanks iball. Its got a ways to go yet. Need to make a lamp shad and trim that pink matt loll. Link to comment
boxboy Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 is there any threads out here where someone built a fals wall and had the overflow teeth the leangth of the entire tank? Link to comment
iball1804 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 WHAT! As in for an overflow? Link to comment
boxboy Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 WHAT! As in for an overflow? Yes an overflow the whole width or leangth of the tank. Link to comment
iball1804 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 That'd be weird! Are you thinking of doing it? Link to comment
Quantum Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Nice dimensions. This is probably a stupid question (I have a disease that doesn't allow me to read the previous posts), but the tanks where you show a bunch of frags and stuff that you want to add, is that your tank? Oh btw that blue/turquoise colored stylo is SWEEET. Jelly Link to comment
boxboy Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 That'd be weird! Are you thinking of doing it? Yup I wanna do it. imagin. 36" long tank. the left 8"inside the tank being the sump. holding only return pump and heater. use egg crate over top the sump to hold chems. carbon and floss. overflow will be the same width of tank in order to keep higher flow rate and ensure all surface water has no scum. return pipes under the sand blowing water back towards overflow. does this idea make sence?

boxboy Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 This is what I was thinking about. Iball here is the thread to the build. this is the very best overflow ever. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthre...0386&page=2 Link to comment
jtgordon20 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I've looked through that thread before. Will have to again but that overflow was very different. Going to look at it again. Good luck with the contest!! I need to enter one, one of these days. Link to comment
jtgordon20 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I think I do too. Would like to see it in person. Would be cool to have on the smaller wall and use the tank in a peninsula.style. Link to comment
miniwhinny Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 WOW ! What a neat little tank. Those lights look perfect for the size of the tank. Tagging along to this this progress Link to comment
